Objective To investigate the clinical feature,image of CT scan pulmonary,diagnosis and treatment response in children with pulmonary cavity,and discuss the method of diagnosis and the tactics of treatment for pulmonary cavity in children.Methods A retrospective study of 6 patients with pulmonary cavity,who were diagnosed and treated from Jul. 2003 to Oct. 2009 in Department of Pediatrics of the First Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University.The clinical manifestations,laboratory tests,image of CT scan pulmonary,microbiological evidence,diagnostic procedure and treatment response were collected and evaluated.Results Six patients all didn′t have history of lung di-sease,there were 4 boys and 2 girls,8-15 years old,average age was 10.5 years old.Two cases of them had unrelated pulmonary underlying diseases,1 case had hyperthyroidism,and the other had juvenile idiopathic arthritis and had complication of macrophage activation syndrome,the other 4 cases had no obvious history.All cases had fever (38-40 ℃),3 cases had cough and 1 case had chest pain.Staphylococcus aureus were cultured in 2 cases,no bacteria was cultured in other 4 cases;the count of white blood cell decreased in 2 cases and increased in 4 cases;C-reactive protein increased in 5 cases and was normal in 1 case;plasma IgE level increased in 2 cases and was normal in other 4 cases;plasma 1,3-beta-D-glucan of all 6 cases were negative.Pulmonary cavities were found in the first CT scan of the lungs in 5 cases and only 1 case of patient′s pulmonary cavities was found in the second CT scan of the lung.Five cases were diagnosed infective causes,1 case was diagnosed noninfectious cause,5 cases of infective causes had been treated with anti-microbial drugs for at least 1 week,1 case of noninfectious cause were treated with methylprednisolone cobined cyclosporin A for 2 weeks.Pulmonary CT scan was rechecked in all cases,and the state of the cases were improved before discharged from hospital.Conclusions The causes of pulmonary cavity in children are not only infective factors,but also some non-infective disease,especially some changes of image of pulmonary CT scan has diagnostic value,detailed past medical history and appropriate rechecking of chest radiographic check are very necessary for diagnosis,according to the result of microbial inspection and evaluation of treatment effect in time and then adjust the treatment protocols.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Shuanglong pill on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) on aortic atherosclerotic plaque.MethodsAs atherosclerotic(AS) models of rabbits were made by immune injury plus hyperlipid diet, all rabbits were divided into blank control group(group Ⅰ,6), experimental control group(group Ⅱ, 6), captopril control group(group Ⅲ, 6; 10 mg/kg·d,12 weeks), and Shuanglong pill group(group Ⅳ, 6; 2.52 g/kg·d,12 weeks). Quantitive and qualitative analysis of expression of VEGF and BFGF on aortic atherosclerotic plaque were performed.ResultsExpressive area, density and density index of VEGF and bFGF on aortic atherosclerotic plaques were significantly decreased in group Ⅲ and Ⅳ than in group Ⅱ(P<0.01). There were significant decrease for VEGF expression in group Ⅳ than in group Ⅲ(P<0.01).Pathologic staining showed that there were no foam cells formation and no stained yellow in group Ⅰ, but mass foam cells formation and widespread stained yellow in group Ⅱ. There were a small quantity of foam cells formation and little stained yellow in group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ.ConclusionShuanglong pill can delay/reverse AS progression by inhibiting VEGF and bFGF expression in atherosclerotic plaque as well as captopril.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Shuanglong pill which can vivid blood and relax thread pulse on cardial morphology and haemodynamics in experimental myocardial infarction (MI) rats.Methods66 rats ligated left coronary artery were randomly divided into large dose group of Shuanglong pill (LDG), small dose group of Shuanglong pill (SDG), the normal control (NC) and the control group of MI. Half in each group received 2 week treatment and the other received 4 week treatment, and were spiled in femoral and common carotid artery respectively. Parameters of cardiac haemodynamics were monitored by eight lead physiological recorder. ResultsLeft ventricular systolic maximum velocity in LDG, SDG and DC was more significantly elevated than in MI, after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment, but it was lower than NC. There were no significant differences among LDG, SDG and DC. Ventricular systolic maximum velocity in LDG was more significantly elevated than in MI after 2 week treatment.ConclusionTreating MI with Shuanglong pill can improve left ventricular systolic maximum velocity, and diastolic phase function of left ventricular also elevate during the acute stage of MI by using large dose.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation between persistent and non-persistent HPV infection and vaginal microecology and cervical lesions, and to provide the basis for HPV prevention and treatment. Methods In this prospective study, 229 female patients with high-risk type (HR-HPV) were selected for cervical cytology and vaginal microecological examination in the gynecological outpatient department of Baise Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2018 to June 2021. The patients were followed up for 1 year to detect persistent HR-HPV infection. The relationship between HR-HPV persistent infection and vaginal microecology and cervical lesions was analyzed using the HPV-negative group as a control. Results Among 229 patients with HR-HPV, there were 109 patients with persistent HR-HPV infection and 120 patients with non-persistent HR-HPV infection in 1-year follow-up, and the incidence of persistent HR-HPV infection was 47.6%. In the HR-HPV persistent and non-persistent infection and HPV-negative groups, the bacterial vaginal incidence was 20.2%, 15.0% and 8.6%, respectively; vulvovaginal candidiasis was 19.3%, 13.3% and 7.9%, respectively; trichomoniasis vaginitis was 12.8%, 9.2% and 4.5%, respectively; mixed infection was 10.1%, 6.7% and 2.7%; H2O2 detection rate was 24.8%, 18.3% and 12.0%,the positive rate of pH value was 52.3%, 40.8% and 36.4%, and microecological normal detection rate was 22.9%, 32.7% and 40.2%, respectively. There were significant differences among the three groups (χ2=10.634, 10.522, 9.010, 9.374, 10.054, 8.268, P<0.01). In the HR-HPV persistent and non-persistent infection groups, the rates of atypical squamous cell detection were 12.8% and 10.0%, and 8.3% and 4.2% for low-grade squamous cell lesions, and 4.6% and 1.7% for high-grade squamous cell carcinoma, 2.8% and 0 for squamous cell carcinoma, respectively. There was no significant difference in the composition of atypical squamous cells between the two groups (χ2=4.358, P>0.05), there were significant differences in the composition of low-grade, high-grade and squamous cell carcinoma (χ2=11.472, 12.685, 11.378, P<0.01). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the presence or extent of HPV infection was positively correlated with bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, trichomonal vaginitis and mixed infection (P<0.05), positively correlated with H2O2, sialdase, leucocyte esterase,pH positive and positive for all four items (P<0.05), negatively correlated with microecology (P<0.01), positively correlated with low grade, high grade and squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.01), and not significantly correlated with atypical squamous cell carcinoma (P>0.05). Conclusion Persistent cervical HPV infection is an important factor of dysregulation in vaginal microecology and aggravates the degree of dysregulation in vaginal microecology, which is related to the development of cervical lesions.

To understand the adverse drug reaction (ADR) induced by Mailuoning injection. 162 ADRs due to the drug were retrieved from national medical journals of 1988-2007 for statistics. It was shown that there was no relationship between ADR and dosage, but ADR appeared mostly in middle-aged and old groups, and more in male than in female. The occurrence of ADR was commonly within 30 min after injection. It involved injuries of various systems and organs. As for the 123 cases of allergy, 38 were anaphylactic shock (accounting for 23.46%), two people died. ADR characterized by immediate type on initial use and tachy type. It should be paid more attention to the Mailuoning injection for the immediate hypersensitivity reaction (such as anaphylactic shock).

Objective To investigate whether perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) can be used to evaluate blood perfusion of patients with leukoaraiosis (LA), its relationship to clinical features, and the therapy effect of LA. Methods The 44 patients with LA were recruited in the study. All the subjects were examined with both conventional and dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion MR imaging, 13 of them repeated the examinations after the treatment. The shapes and sizes of the biggest lesions in each patient were confirmed by conventional MR imaging, then the values of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and relative mean transit time (rMTT) in each lesion were calculated respectively. Furtherly, a Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to show whether these values were correlated with mini-mental state examination (MMSE)scores or activities of daily living (ADL) scores. Results The 44 lesions of all the subjects showed significant decreases in rCBV (0. 797 ± 0. 160) and rCBF (0. 779± 0. 164) but increase in rMTT (1. 029±0. 073). There were positive correlations between rCBV and MMSE (r = 0. 524, P =0. 000), between rCBV and ADL (r=0. 621, P=0. 000), between rCBF and MMSE (r=0. 555, P=0. 000), and between rCBF and ADL (r= 0. 690, P= 0. 000), and negative correlations between rMTTand MMSE (r=-0.307, P=0.043), and between rMTT and ADL (r=-0.434, P=0. 003). The blood perfusion was enhanced in 10 out of 13 patients who received the repeated examinations after the treatment, most of whom showed the improvement of clinical symptoms.Conclusions Perfusion MR imaging can assess hemodynamic alterations in LA, which could reflect the clinical symptoms. Moreover, the changes of blood perfusions can be used to evaluate and monitor the therapy effect of LA.
